Rumor Mill: Broncos Looking for a Veteran QB | 5 Available Options
The Denver Broncos have yet to add a quarterback to their stable since free agency began, but that could change. Jarrett Stidham is penciled in as the Broncos' starter, but Sean Payton may be looking to upgrade the position.
Denver was reportedly interested in Kirk Cousins and Sam Darnold, but the signal-callers ended up in Atlanta and Minnesota, respectively. However, there are a few QB options that could make sense for the Broncos in 2024, whether as a placeholder for an incoming rookie or as a reclamation project.
Let’s dive in.
Ryan Tannehill
Carson Wentz
Justin Fields
Joshua Dobbs
Zach Wilson
Now, we’ve come to the least sexy option: Zach Wilson.
The former No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 draft had flashes here and there with the New York Jets but was inevitably benched due to inconsistent play. Having Nathaniel Hackett calling the plays certainly didn't help, nor did the Jets' history as a dysfunctional organization.
Wilson may be too far gone as an NFL quarterback, and Payton likely won’t give him a look. The Broncos have limited options to upgrade their quarterback room, but these five veterans are probably the best they could get their hands on at this point in the offseason.
Don’t be surprised if Payton adds to the quarterback room before the draft in late April.
